High-Level Description
Family: Media Protection
Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI
Media Marking
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review System Security Plan
Examine the SSP for Media Marking (03.08.04) implementation description and responsible parties.
Step 2: Assess Implementation
# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable
# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture
Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation
Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.

Supplemental Guidance
System media include digital and non-digital media. Marking refers to the use or application of human-readable security attributes. Labeling refers to the use of security attributes for internal system data structures. Digital media include diskettes, magnetic tapes, external or removable solid state or magnetic drives, flash drives, compact discs, and digital versatile discs. Non-digital media include paper and microfilm. CUI is defined by NARA along with marking, safeguarding, and dissemination requirements for such information.
